Summary
This study compares three types of dietary advice to see which one helps people reduce their intake of free sugars (added sugars and those in honey, syrups, and juices). Around 29 adults in the UK who eat more than 5% of their calories from free sugars will receive one of the advice types and track their eating using diet diaries. Researchers will measure changes in sugar intake, body weight, and waist size to find the most effective approach.
